What day is it? I'm a little upside down this week. I didn't think I would get a card made today, but then I saw the colors for this week's The Play Date Cafe challenge and, by some miracle, I membered I had done a watercolor not long ago ...
Here is the challenge:
Aren't those sexilious colors?! I hope my card complies as I can't quite tell about Dusk. We had a kid in high school nicknamed Dusk who always wore different colored socks. He was way ahead of his time, style-wise. He went into the carwash business, but I think he should have gone to New York City.
Here's my watercolor watering can:
You should play along in this challenge! There are great prizes from a great company!
I have to give Mister a shout-out, even though he doesn't read this, I don't think? When I came home from my procedure yesterday, he had cut a few of my favorite lilacs. Their unique aroma makes me forget any bolts and bindings that might be rubbing me the wrong way. He might be a nitwit, but he's a loving, thoughtful nitwit, eh what?
I took a couple of pictures so you can enjoy them vicaristically with me. I wish I had smell-a-blog for you!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love your watering can and flowers, Darnell. They're so pretty. Gorgeous lilacs, too. Mine are just coming into bloom.
ReplyDeleteGosh I wish I could watercolour like this. My attempts to watercolour always turn out as a soggy mess! This is so beautiful. And good on your Mister to look after you like that! Hope you are starting to feel more yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolouring is amazing and I love that one rounded corner. Gorgeous lilacs too. Anne x
ReplyDeleteJust love, love your card. Your lilacs and real ones are so beautiful. In full bloom here, but I don't know anyone with a bush. Do you suppose it is leagal to stop and pick some along the road? If you can help me find where to buy a lilac stamp, I'd sure appreciate it. Hope you are feeling better with each passing day!
